Why Everyone Should Attend a LAGRANT Foundation Career Development Workshop by Breana Harris

As a recent college graduate, I’m struggling like most to find employment so when a mentor of mine at Clark Atlanta suggested I attend The LAGRANT Foundation’s (TLF) Career Development Workshop hosted by Verizon Wireless. I thought it was a great idea! The only problem was that I live in Louisiana and the workshop was being held in Atlanta. When I spoke with my parents they immediately said they would cover the cost because “it is worth it to follow your dreams and seek out all opportunities.”

I was all set to go until I received news from my doctor. I was in a car accident and one of the vertebrates in my neck was now out of place. I had to begin physical therapy and consider the possibility of surgery. Immediately, I began feeling depressed. How would I be able to attend the workshop now or apply for jobs out of state?

A friend of mine reminded me that I must never give up. I began to think about all those who had gone before me and faced adversity but refused to give up. I was not going to let my injury hinder my career before it even started. After explaining my situation to my uncle he advised me to go and not let anything stop me from pursuing my dreams.
After eight and a half hours of driving, I finally made it to Atlanta. Once I arrived at the workshop, I met people who were just like me, dealing with the same situation. Though I knew I was not the only person struggling to find employment, it felt good to be reminded that I was not alone.

Attending the career development workshop was one of the best decisions I ever made. I learned a great deal about my profession from some very knowledgeable and successful professionals in my field. Without attending this workshop, I would not have the upper hand in knowledge that I feel I have now. We were able to ask questions, receive advice, and network. There were also scholarships applications for undergraduate and graduate students. For anyone considering attending a TLF Career Development Workshop, the choice is easy: GO! It will surely be worth your while. If I drove over eight and a half hours with a vertebrate out of place to attend, there is no excuse not to go. Be sure to take advantage of all the opportunities afforded to you because you never know what could happen. Whether it’s a job opportunity or the chance to gain knowledge from someone who is in the position you want to be, it is definitely worth it.
